ablrtest

Likelihood ratio test for restrictions on alpha and beta


Description

This function estimates a restricted VAR, where the restrictions are based upon \bold{α}, i.e. the loading vectors and \bold{β}, i.e the matrix of cointegration vectors. The test statistic is distributed as χ^2 with (p-m)r + (p-s)r degrees of freedom, with m equal to the columns of the restricting matrix \bold{A}, s equal to the columns of the restricting matrix \bold{H} and p the order of the VAR.

Usage

ablrtest(z, H, A, r)

Arguments

z

An object of class ca.jo.

H

The (p \times s) matrix containing the restrictions on \bold{β}.

A

The (p \times m) matrix containing the restrictions on \bold{α}.

r

The count of cointegrating relationships;
inferred from summary(ca.jo-object).

Details

The restricted \bold{α} matrix, as well as \bold{β} is normalised with respect to the first variable.

Value

An object of class cajo.test.
